Mother’s day

My last one as a mommy of one. It’s kind of daunting. I know it will be fine. But I worry still.

Today Avery and I got up about 7 and we let Terry sleep for a couple more hours on the couch while Avery ran around and I made us some fried eggs and he played. Then he took a tiny nap and I was on facebook and on here fr a bit. Before I could get anything else down, Avery woke up an I took a shower while Terry got Avery ready to come to my grandma’s for lunch. My mom made a roast with carrots and mashed potaoes as gravy. It was fantastic and there was enough left over that I took enough home for like 2-3 lunches. Then we talked for a bit and I went to my parents and got this little tykes rocking hair my dad got from a neighbor because Avery is obsessed with rocking while sitting in a chair. We have a couple kid chairs at our house I am just going to switch it out for. Then Avery fell a sleep on our super short drive to walmart and slept through most of the trip until I was checking out. I got some great deals- a 3 piece shower set (bath mat, shower caddy and over the door hanger) for $5 and Reynolds wrap aluminum foil for 50 cents a piece. I got like 8 of those because that stuff is so expensive otherwise and gave 2 to my mom and 2 to my grandma. I also picked Iona package of newborn diapers and some small 5oz bottles because I have no clue where we packed the other ones. I found a couple little outfits in newborn size while we were doing the laundry but I need to find the one bag of clothes that were all too small for Avery I packed up months ago. There was lots in that. We came home and Terry was in the shower and Avery played for a bit and then I had to come back to my grandmas to watch my niece. Avery was really upset when I left. I miss him. But Cheyenne is a sleep already and I can go home soon.

I had a chance to go in for overtime today, but I choose to spend the day with Avery instead. It was a great choice in my opinion. I love him so much and I miss so much of his daily life by going to work and school. I know it will be worth it but sometimes I just wish it was done and I could be home with him more.

Happy mother’s day to all the mommies. We are definately on the journey of a lifetime with more rewards then we could ever imagine. And each experience helps us forge through the next one. I hope you are enjoying yours as much as I do mine (and remember that in those trying moments we all have.)
